Global Warming, er Climate Change is a National Security Threat

Quote:'Also' is incorrect. My point was that there were no others.







[color=#008080]For there to be a problem with <del>Global Warming</del> Climate Change there needs to be a positive feedback. Just ending negative feedback won't cause a problem. So can you give me an example of positive feedback in nature? Can you give me an example of any prediction of global doom, 'scientific' or otherwise, that ever actually happened?
One of the positive feedback hypotheses that I have heard of is that the water under the ice sheet at the North Pole is dark, and as the ice melts, dark water is exposed, which absorbs more heat therefore melting more ice. And so on.


I don't happen to believe we are doomed, because I believe in our ingenuity and adaptability. But of course it will be a lot easier to adapt if we are able to recognize a looming problem.


But let me ask you a couple of questions.


1) Do you believe that a positive feedback in the environment is possible?


2) Do you believe that it is possible that mankind can damage the environment to an unacceptable degree?
